Percomba, California, Is a Tiny Town in the Desert

Percomba, California is a tiny town. You've probably never heard of it. It's actually really charming. A few stores selling art, drinkets, that kind of thing. There's a lovely lake fed by the spring and on this sun-baked morning there are about 50 people outside an old petrol station. The ad hoc migrant camp has held as many as 1500 people out in the open. When Title 42 ended, a board of patrol made no plans to keep them anywhere.
